BYU wins big over Hawaii

Brigham Young wide receiver Ross Apo celebrated with teammates after scoring on a touchdown pass in the second period.

Hawaii coach Norm Chow returned today to Provo, Utah, where he was once considered an offensive guru for the Brigham Young University Cougars.

But going home again proved difficult, as BYU routed UH 47-0 in a nonconference football matchup that saw two Hawaii defensive tackles removed on stretchers in the first seven minutes. Both players had movement in their arms as they left the field, giving a thumbs up. Later, X-rays were ruled negative for both players.

Meanwhile, BYU freshman quarterback Taysom Hill made his first start a good one, especially early on as he led the Cougars to the opening score of the game.

During the drive, Hawaii defensive lineman Geordon Hanohano was injured and removed from the field on a stretcher. It was a helmet-to-helmet contact on a simple running play with BYU offensive guard Famika Anae. Both training staffs tended to Hanohano at a hushed LaVell Edwards Stadium located on the BYU campus. He complained of numbness and went to a local hospital for further observation.

Play was resumed with a second and 8 at the UH 9. Two snaps later, BYU ended the nine-play, 77-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run by Jamaal Williams to give the Cougars the lead with 10:48 left in the opening quarter. Riley Stephenson added the PAT.

Hawaii turned the ball over on its opening drive when quarterback Sean Schroeder overthrew Billy Ray Stutzmann. It was picked off by Daniel Sorensen as BYU set up shop at its own 39. During the drive, Anae went helmet to helmet again, this time with Siasau Matagiese, who remained on the field for 10 minutes before being removed on a stretcher and sent to the local hospital.

When play resumed, Hawaii forced a turnover, as freshman corner Ne'Quan Phillips picked off Hill's errant pass, but UH was forced to punt on the ensuing offensive series.

BYU started the second quarter with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Hill to a wide-open Ross Apo as the Cougars built the lead to 14-0 with 14:54 left in the half as Stephenson added the PAT.

The Cougars extended the lead to three touchdowns as Hill took a simple quarterback draw and ran it 68 yards untouched up the middle of the field for the score. The try for PAT was blocked as BYU built a 20-0 advantage with 6:16 left in the half.

It got worse for Hawaii in the second half as Schroeder got hit just before his arm was coming forward, resulting in a fumble that BYU's Spencer Hadley recovered at the UH 2-yard line. It was initially ruled a touchdown.

It didn't take long for BYU to score, as Williams bulled in from 2 yards out. Stephenson added the PAT to make it 27-0 with 13:38 left in the third.

BYU padded its lead on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Hill to a wide-open Devin Mahina, with Stephenson adding the PAT to make it 34-0 with 4:18 left in the third. The reason the third-and-goal play worked was because UH's blitz package didn't get to Hill in time.

Another Schroeder fumble and recovery by BYU had the Cougars knocking at the door once again at the UH 23. BYU put in most of its backups as Hawaii forced a fourth and 1 at its own 14. BYU converted on the play, setting up a first and 10 at the 12. Two plays later, Paul Lasike scored from the 4 to make it 40-0 with no time left in the third as Stephenson missed the PAT.

BYU put the finishing touches on Hawaii with a brutal 11-play drive of 77 yards that ended with Lasike scoring from 1 yard out to make it 47-0 as Justin Sorensen added the PAT with 6:58 left in the game.

Get better Hanohano. I hope you're just going to the hospital as a precaution. On a different note, I know the defense is a little thin now, but they are missing way too many tackles. Need to start making them! Go Hawaii!

I feel for Hanohano. It appears to be a back injury by the way his body reacted when he was blocked by Anae. Now we have another defensive tackle injured. This looks like a concussion. We are getting extremely thin on the line it is only the first quarter.

I'm not sure what you mean by division. BYU has been an old time opponent of UH for years. This year we don't seem as competitive. Maybe it's recruiting and conversion to a new offense. All I know is that San Diego State is no slouch either. We also used to play them as well. With the exception of USC, these teams are from the old WAC.

I agree, the O line is struggling to get the ball deep. Shorter passes are even hard to complete the bubble screens and regular screen passes are ineffective. We need an offense that can posses the ball on long drives to shorten the game. As our defense is real thin now. Mike Leach devised large splits between the lineman which gives bigger blocking angles and makes the defense rushing off the edge much harder. Chow should install that type of extra wide splits. Just a suggestion.

Agreed Niimi. In 2007, Aloha Stadium didn't have a sellout until the 10th game of the season. UH fans weren't just fair weather fans that year--heck--most of them weren't even perfect weather fans. Many fans were complaining about Hawai'i's weak strength of schedule, how uncongenial coach Jones presented himself, as well as how incompetent AD Herman Frazier was--yet despite this the Warriors received a BSC Bowl birth. So goes the old adage, we don't appreciate what we have 'till it's gone. Anyhow--Go Warriors!!!

Meanwhile Rolovich and Aranda are thriving in their programs. Sorry Chow gets no pass, we gave to many coaches passes. My biggest fear came to light tonight. We have a pocket passer with no mobility and telegraphs his passes.combine that with a O line that can't block. Recipe for disaster.

Bull, BYU is not a really good team. Mediocre at best. Utah St. is gonna wipe the field with them. USC already proven to be overrated. Coaches have to produce with the players they got. This team could still be productive on offense with the run and shoot. Chow knows the elements of it. Graves can run it. the receivers know it. Incorporate the pro style next year when you can bring in a second class of recruits and have Graham run it. There is a reason Shroeder never played at Duke, it showed today. By the way since when are we considering Duke a highly toted program where there benchwarmers are good enough for us. Chow has been one dimensional so far and unwilling to adjust to changing situations. This team needs to dig deep and find themselves. I have confidence in most of the players not so much in their coaching.

Romney state 47? Maybe you should consider becoming a replacement referee for the NFL.

Our offense relies on a running game. Unfortunately with an Offensive team that was largely built for the run and shoot, the linemen don't have the experience or know how to block correctly to open a lane. It also doesn't help that our starting back Iosefa is hurt right now so our running game is limited. Choy will have to be given at least another year or two in order to see if he can build something. On the other hand we do need a new defensive coordinator. Yes the Defense doesn't have a chance to rest, but they were missing way too many tackles in the first drive. That is unacceptable and needs to be fixed. I feared this would be a bad year as we are in transition, but I hope it gets a little better. Nevada, USC, and BYU are quality teams so it's not unexpected that we lose to them. Next week we face San Diego State. That should be a much better game for us and I expect a win there.

There was no leadership on the field, no enthusiasm as if they really wanted to play, poor tackling, poor blocking, bad play calling and if Chow doesn't make corrections, this will be a looong losing season. BYU came to play and UH was laying in the grass all night wondering what hit them and hoping the game would get over as quickly as possible so they could get on the plane and head back to Hawaii.

This game didn't hurt as much as the Nevada game. My expectations were much lower! Feels like this is going to be a long, painful season. The guy who said our offensive plays were too predictable was being kind, they were downright boring. Where is the great product Coach was talking about? Our Hawaii defense has long been our strongpoint even through the worst times, but this year it is only embarrassing. Hope Hanohano and Matagiese will be okay. So far this season we have lost three games where we got thoroughly beaten in every phase of the game, coaching, offense, defense and special teams. Something has to change and quick or people will start drawing comparisons between Chow and Frank Arnold. Heaven help us. And heaven help our athletic department if the students don't show up for the next few home games.

its not embarrassing remember most of our players on offense and defense are from last years run and shoot gotta learn different defensive schemes and offensive plays so it is hard for these players to learn and make the change from run and shoot to pro style offense. and different defensive schemes give them time i feel they will get better in the weeks to come.
